The New Wolf

Chapter Five

"Max! I'm gonna kill you!" I yelled as loud as I could, throwing things at him. "How could you leave?! You promised me Max, you f*****g promised! Was that a lie, do you not want anything to do with me? I was ten you d**k! You left after PROMISING me you wouldn’t." I pushed at him and he grabbed my arms. I kept hitting him though. He was NOT getting away with this!

"You promised Maxwell you promised to keep me safe and never leave!" I was crying now. Giving up on hitting him, I just fell to the ground with Max still holding me.

"I know, Kel, I know. I'm so sorry! I never meant to leave, but I had no choice." he sighed and picked me up.

"What the hell happened to the f*****g kitchen!" Jason yelled as he walked into the living room. He saw me crying then "What's wrong?" Jason asked, looking at us.

I looked up at his handsome face. His eyes got softer when they landed on mine. They held a little possessiveness in them but mostly worried.

I don't know what the possessive look is about, but whatever.

"Nothing Jason I'll tell you later." Max said.

"No now." I rolled my eyes and got up out of Max's grip. Almost falling on my face.

"Little Maxie here is my Uncle. He left when I was around ten. Never told me why, never talked to me after. Hey Maxie want to know what happened to me after that night? Do you?" I sounded dark, and I didn't like it. Not at all. But I was so pissed. So hurt and betrayed. God for all I knew he was dead!

"Kelly calm down. Please let me explain." Max pleaded.

Should I let him explain why he left me there to bleed out? To f*****g die?

"Fine Max but it better be a f*****g good reason." I went to the couch on the other side of the living room after putting the icecream up. Jason followed me but sat on the ground in front of me. He’s so weird.

"Kel you remember that night. I know it still haunts you. First I just want to say that I am so sorry. You have to believe how deeply sorry I am." Oh I remember that night like it just happened.

*Flashback*

After he left there was a loud crash coming from the living room. "Kelly run!" I heard Max yell when he saw me at the top of the stars. I looked around the room to see wolves. Big, huge, rabid wolves. I'm talking about the size of a small car.

Except for one. He was as big as a truck! Black fur and sharp teeth. He looked at me and saw I was looking at his fur and did this wolf grin. His eyes were this dark green. Not that kind that is ugly but a beautiful one.

The wolf looked back to Max who was fighting one of the wolves and then to me. He started to walk toward me. I stepped back and fell down the stairs. The wolf ran down them and before I could hit the cement floor I was caught.

"Kelly! Get out of here now!" Max yelled again. I look up and see a man. He was cute but then he turned into a wolf. The one that was chasing me. He ran at me again and I froze with fear. When he was five seconds from me his big claw swiped at my leg. I screamed bloody murder.

The wolf looked down at me and smirked. I tried to move and get away but my left leg had a big gash in it and I think it's broken. Oh god please I'm only ten! I remember yelling in my head.

He changed back to his human self and started kicking me and hitting me.

"Why!" I screamed out trying to see what I ever did to deserve such cruelty from anyone. I was only ten.

"Because you are nothing!" the man spat at me through gritted teeth.

His hand went for my throat and started choking me. There was no way out of this. Black spots were starting to get in my way of seeing.

All of a sudden he was off of me. A red wolf had him by the neck, thrashing him around.

They came this way and I screamed, yet again hearing a loud CRACK! Pain shot up from my right leg this time. I started to hyperventilate.

Everything was going in and out from losing so much blood.

A loud howl ripped through the air. I looked to see the black wolf laying on the ground. Not moving.

The red wolf looked at me. His eyes look like Uncle Max's. "Th-thank you." was the only thing I was able to say before I went out.

*End of flashback*

"Kelly. I stayed with you while you were in the hospital. You have no idea how much I hated myself for not protecting you as much as I could have."

"How did you get out?" I whispered, remembering the red wolf's eyes. They were the same green as Max's. There is no way. They aren't real.

Max looked at Jason as if asking for approval and Jason nodded.

Max got up and moved the glass coffee table to the side. Then he gave me a sad look right before he turned into a huge red wolf.

The red wolf that saved me.

"How? Why didn't you tell me?" I asked.

Max lowered his body and slowly crawled over to me. When he reached the couch his head came up and laid it on my lap.

"He wants you to pet him." Jason said, looking up at me.

"Are you a wolf too?" I wanted to know. He nodded then got up and left the room.

I looked back at Max. He was beautiful and big. I pinched myself hoping this was a dream but it wasn't. "f**k Max is this why you left?" I asked knowing it probably was.

His big wolf head nodded and he whined. I rolled my eyes knowing he wants me to pet him. He already showed submission to me so I know he's not going to hurt me. Yet I'm still afraid he will. Maybe not physically but emotionally.

I hold my breath and move my hand to his left ear and slowly start to pet him. His tail started to wag and I knew I was safe.

Jason came back in with some clothes for Max I'm guessing. We stayed like that for a while. Max in his wolf form, Jason sitting next to me on the couch and me petting my Uncle. I know it's weird right?

"Go change Max. We have a lot to explain." Jason ordered him.

I gave him a sharp look as Max grabbed the clothes and left. "Who do you think you are bossing people around, huh?" I jabbed my pointer finger at his chest. In case you haven't noticed I can be very bitchy sometimes.

The look on Jason's face was one of amusement. "Angel, I'm the Alpha." I looked him over. His body structure looked like one of such a title would look like. He's got the sexiness. The eyes, hair, damn he has everything I would think an Alpha would have. I read a s**t ton of werewolf books sooo ya haha.

He smirked at me. "Find something you like?"

I scuffed at him "Look Alpha don't think I am your little play toy. I'm not some girl you can charm into having s*x with." he looked a little hurt by that. What's up with his mood swings? One minute he’s all joking and flirting and the next he just goes cold or upset. But I was kind of rude. I should apologize.

Just before he could say anymore Max walked in. "Hey little K can we talk?" He asked sheepishly.

"Ya start by telling me why you left. After that night I never saw you again." I'm not much of a cryer but today it seems like I always was.

"Kel I left because I couldn't do the one job I was assigned."

I looked up at him "What are you talking about?"

Max sighed "Our family well we, uh we are all werewolves." I started to laugh at that.

"Uh Max I'm not one and I've never seen mom, dad, Eric or hell even Alexander turn into a wolf."

"See you are the only one who hasn't changed. Not yet anyway. The night you ran away I got a call from your mom telling me you left. Boy she was upset."

"The hell she got upset. That women f*****g hates me." I grumbled.

Jason looked at me then to Max and back at me. "How about you go see if Tyler is ok. He must be wondering what’s going on." f**k I almost forgot about Ty.

"Hey Max, do me a favor?" I looked up at him trying to leave. He groaned but turned to look at me smiling at him. "Will you get me a cookie?"

Nodding, Max walked into the kitchen and looked for a cookie. "Kelly, I want you to know something about werewolves. We have mates. Meaning..."

I cut him off right there. "Yes I know what they are, Jason. I read all the time well whenever I had time to."

He chuckled a little. "Well just to let you know I'm waiting for mine. So don't worry." Huh I never really thought about that. I kind of feel like a total b***h for what I had said a few minutes ago.

"Here, Kel now go to bed. It's late and the pack is taking a run. Tomorrow we are taking you to the pack close to us so you can meet someone. Now go. Good night Killer." Max said, handing me the cookie.

I got up and hugged him. "Good night Maxie I missed you." Then I ran down the hall and into my room. Ty was still asleep so I put the cookie on the nightstand and laid down.

The rest of the night I was tossing and turning. I just can't believe all the information I was given.
